flowing

Like this body of water,
You made me float.
Floating since you never gave me assurance,
and there was no where for me to hold on to.

This body of water makes me jealous
and makes me wish for more.
It makes me wonder that just like this water,
In time I will be lead somewhere.

That place that I desire,
Is nowhere else but with you.
This was our promise,
That in the end it will be "us".

I wish that sometime in the future,
That future that you promised me,
Even if it takes me years to float,
In the end, it will lead me to you.

Like this picture that we took,
you make me remember special days together.
But as this picture remains intact,
I never realized that you were fading away.

The clarity of the memories,
and the memories of this picture
are all that I have of you
because we both know that the future will never be true.

Now that I don't have you,
I remain calm.
Because I feel no angst
nor do I regret the feeling that I had.

It is now clear that "together" will not be for us
"Apart" may be better for you and I.
This is better for the both of us,
Even if the feeling is still on fire.

This is my decision,
You may want to contest for more,
I may want something else,
But what for?

There was never a future
Not a place can hold us
There was no other option
And nothing else will follow.

Like this body of water that we both adore
It faced many hardships,
But it also made many people happy,
Especially me.

Like this body of water that continuous to flow,
I will also learn to saddle to reach for another island.
Unlike this body of water that made me float,
Someone else made me stand.

Now I know how to set my foot on the ground.
I learned to make decisions of my own.
I may not have you but I have myself.
And I also have someone else.

Flow.
Be happy.
Learn.
and never forget,
to FORGIVE.

change

Now that everything seems so stagnant,
why a sudden change?

With everything in my life constant,
why would I want a variable?

With my life so planned,
why would I deviate?

With everyone else doing what must be done,
why should I hinder them?

With all of these nonsense in me,
why should you even care?

drinking may be fun, but everything has consequences. :)
just be responsible, ok? :)

ogle

That look,
that smile-
I see that often.

That look,
that smile-
it makes you happy.

That look,
that smile-
It makes me wonder.

Yes, I am wondering
because you are damn happy,
always-
But not because of me.

Manila

My sister and I
A glimpse on one of our escapades in Manila :D

July 12-14. We stayed in Manila. Went to the mall (like there was no mall here in Bicol).
I miss Manila. But I will definitely miss my brother, sis in law, Lilo and Liit so much more. I hope to see them again.
